General tab missing


Just a quick update how to do it in Xcode 8:

get the general tab


See up in the left hand corner of your screenshot the blue icon? You have your project file selected and are viewing the project's global settings, which don't have a "General" tab.

Click either the triangle in the box up there or the lower blue icon with "template" and select a build target.


You are seeing your project's settings. You want to see your target's settings.

In the bar containing 'Info' and 'Build Settings' click on the project icon on the left and select your main target from the dropdown.
